Reusse: Modern Game Unkind to Dozier, Plouffe
Birdbrain replied to Seth Stohs's topic in Minnesota Twins Talk
Be careful what you wish for. Reducing service time would hurt small market teams like the Twins big time. The White Sox have more than 70 million more dollars annually in tv revenue than the twins. Even owners cannot make up differences like that. Unlike other sports baseball does not have complete revenue sharing or a salary cap. This makes it hard for small market teams to compete. Reducing service time would make it even harder. Complete revenue sharing like the NFL is not going to happen. What could be done? 1. Set a maximum salary for players like the NBA. Thirty and forty million dollar per year contracts take away from all the other players. Twenty million up to 7 years should be enough to support your family. However, the money saved should not go to the owners. Continue current luxury tax if the team salary cap is exceeded. 2. Make players eligible for arbitration after one season on the 26 man roster and after 2 seasons on the 40 man roster. If your player is valuable enough to the team to be placed on the 40 man, then they should be paid more than a minor league salary.
